“Health is more affected by atmospheric conditions than by any other influence. From the moment the new born child utters its first cry, until life finally ceases, he is directly and immediately dependent on the atmosphere he breathes for continued existence. Records of sickness and of mortality clearly show that the nearer atmospheric conditions are to those of the open country, the better is the health of the population, and that the more these conditions are modified owing to urbanisation and industrialisation, the more pronounced is the ill-effect upon general health” (1).
